New papers on paleoseismology, earthquakes, and active tectonics (Jan 2021)

Some colleagues told me that 2020 was the most productive year they ever had – without the distraction of field work and meetings they managed to write up a lot of things they’ve had on their desks. Others reported exactly the opposite. In any case, I hope that this year life will go back to normal and I wish you a wonderful 2021.
Here are the latest papers, quite a good start into the next decade. Stay safe!
